Witty
International School, Pawan Baug once again got into the exuberant extravaganza
on Hindi Diwas, 14th September with vigor and enthusiasm with a fine blend of
competitions and cultural activities. Hindi language is connected with various rituals,
cultural heritage and values that provide the glimpse of Indian culture. Thus,
it is important to dedicate a day to this language that plays a vital role in
showing true values and tradition of India to rest of the world. Secondary
students of Witty International School, Pawan Baug celebrated ‘Hindi Diwas’
with much fanfare and enthusiasm.The day started with a mass assembly
presented by Grade IGCSE-I where the students worshipped Almighty with a Hindi
Prayer and thought for the day followed by a Nukkad Natak on the Indian
Education System. As a part of celebrating ‘Hindi
Diwas’, the students presented a vibrant cultural programme depicting the
various realms of Hindi literature.

To
mark the day chief guest Supriya Shukla, a famous theatre and television actress
and eminent writer graced the occasion. The program commenced with a
spectacular UV act ‘Govind Bolo Hari Gopal Bolo’ which was a
representation of Dashavatara, i.e the ten avtars of Vishnu. ‘Kavita Suman’ provided a rendition of
poems such as Moturam, Padosi, Muhavare etc. Each poem symbolised humour, exam
fever and so on. Dhara ki kahani Nukkad ki jubani, a street play
highlighted the importance of planting trees and adverse effects of
deforestation. The play achieved its desired motto of imparting awareness in
audience about the need to save environment pollution. The play ended with a
pledge of conserving environment which imparted a great social message to the
audience.

The
programme proceeded with a Qawalli and mastani jugalbandi ‘Kabir Banam Kalyug’ which was an innovative fusion of the lyrics of
Kabir Dohas and famous Bollywood songs. The audience truly rejoiced to the
beats of the rhythmic songs. Literature was aptly presented in ‘Ashadh ka ek din’, an
intense play on the life of Kalidasa which brought out the message that one should
shoulder their responsibilities at all times keeping aside their personal
desires. In contrast to the serious play, a rib tickling comedy act, “Ye
remote kiska hai?’ showcased the hilarious fight between husband and wife
for the remote control of TV which is a routine story of each house. The play
also showed sarcasm on the News channels and the TV anchors that tend to make a
mountain out of a molehill. ‘Naari ke roop anek’, a musical
play highlighted the achievements of famous women like Razia Sultan, Neerja
Banot, Mithali Raj, Rani Lakshmibai and many more who have achieved name and
fame by setting up records by their unmatched incredible work. The show ended
with a fantabulous Grand Finale, ‘Thirakte
Kadam’ where each student present felt proud to be a part of such a culture
which possesses a language as great as Hindi.

Chief
Guest, Supriya Shukla aptly said, “Celebration of this special day will definitely promote
Hindi language which is a very scientific language. Moreover, we should feel
proud of this rich language and this is the main motive of this special day.
Therefore, celebration ofHindi
Diwasall across
India will definitely enhance the glory and progress of Hindi.”

“Hindi is a language spoken by the heartso we have to work to bring that pride back in the future generation. When confidence and verve return
to Hindi prose, that’s when the language will endure. When the youth feels that
Hindi is versatile enough for their 21st century sensibilities, that’s when it
will grow. It is our responsibility to help our children move ahead into the
future and carry their greatest heritage, the language of Hindi, with
them," stated
Principal, Bijo Kurian.
